[0003]
  • However, the conventional electric jack described above can be electrically connected to the connecting unit at both ends of the cable only by peeling the cable and exposing the lead wire. [0004]
  • Since the process of peeling the cable is very complicated, work performance is deteriorated, and the lead wire inside of the cable is easily cut in the peeling process when the cable is slim such as a coil of a motor. [0005]
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide an electric jack, which can enhance work performance by fixing the cable to be electrically connected without peeling the cable. [0006]
  • It is another object of the present invention to provide an electric jack, which can electrically connect the cut cable, when cut, without peeling the cable and with convenience. [0007]
  • To achieve the above objects according to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided an electric jack comprising: a connecting unit fixed to be electrically connected to a lead wire inside of a cable; and a holder unit inserted to a connecting object for electrically connecting the connecting object to the cable, characterized by convex and concave portions formed on a contact surface of the connecting unit that is in contact with the cable so as to be electrically connected to the lead wire by penetrating a sheath of the cable. [0008]
  • To achieve the above objects according to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an electric jack comprising: fixing unit fixed onto both ends of a cable; a connecting unit electrically connected to a lead wire inside of the cable by penetrating sheath of the cable with convex and concave portions formed on a contact surface of the connecting unit that is in contact with the cable, and a first fixing unit and a second fixing unit integrally formed to elongate both ends of the connecting unit for fixing connected portions of the cable to face with each other. [0009]
  • Here, it is preferable to form the convex and concave portions in an acute shape in the connecting unit. [0010]
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which: [0011]
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an electric jack according to a first embodiment of the present invention; [0012]
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the electric jack illustrating a state of use according to the first embodiment of the present invention; [0013]
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the electric jack according to a variation of the first embodiment of the present invention; [0014]
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the electric jack according to a second embodiment of the present invention; and [0015]
  • FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the electric jack illustrating a state of use according to the second embodiment of the present invention[0016]
    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described herein below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure the invention in unnecessary detail. [0017]
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show a first embodiment of the present invention. The electric jack according to first embodiment of the present invention comprises a [0018] fixing unit 10 fixed at both ends of a cable 1, a connecting unit 20 electrically connected to a lead wire 2 inside of the cable 1, and a holder unit integrally formed for electrically connecting a connecting object 4 to the cable 1.
  • Convex and [0019] concave portions 22 are formed on a contact surface 21 of the contacting unit 20 that is in contact with the cable 1. The convex and concave portions 22 are electrically connected to the lead wire 2 by penetrating a sheath 3 of the cable 1 when the connecting unit 20 is bent.
  • Therefore, as specifically shown in FIG. 2, the convex and [0020] concave portions 22 are preferably formed in an acute shape so as to easily penetrate the sheath 3 of the cable 1.
  • According to the present invention constructed as above, end portions of the [0021] cable 1 are laid throughout the connecting unit 20 and the fixing unit 10 without peeling the sheath 3 of the cable 1. The fixing unit 10 is bent to fix the electric jack onto the cable 1.
  • Once the connecting [0022] unit 20 is bent, the convex and concave portions 22 formed on the contact surface 21 of the connecting unit 20 penetrate the sheath 3 to reach the lead wire 2 inside of the cable 1. Thus, the lead wire 2 of the cable 1 is electrically connected to the electric jack.
  • Therefore, the [0023] cable 1 is electrically connected to the connecting object 4 by inserting the holder unit 30 to the connecting object 4. Work performance is thus enhanced because the sheath 3 of the cable 1 is not peeled.
  • FIG. 3 shows an electric jack according to a variation of the first embodiment of the present invention. The [0024] fixing unit 10 and the connecting unit 20 are the same as the ones described with reference to FIG. 2. The holder unit 40 is formed in a ring shape. However, the shape of the holder unit 40 is not limited thereto but can be in any form if connectable to the connecting object 4.
  • Meanwhile, FIGS. 4 and 5 show the electric jack according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The electric jack according to the second embodiment of the present invention comprises a connecting [0025] unit 50 electrically connected to the lead wire 2 of the cable 1, and a first fixing unit 60 and a second fixing unit 70 integrally fixed at both ends 1 a, 1 b of the cable 1 to elongate both ends of the connecting unit 50.
  • Convex and [0026] concave portions 52 are formed on a contact surface 51 of the connecting unit 50 that is in contact with cables 1 a, 1 b. The convex and concave portions 52 are electrically connected so as to be in contact with lead wires 2 a, 2 b inside of the cable by penetrating the sheaths 3 a, 3 b of the cables 1 a, 1 b when the connecting unit 50 is bent. The convex and concave portions 52 are preferably of an acute shape so as to easily penetrate the sheaths 3 a, 3 b.
  • The present invention constructed above has an advantage of easily connecting the cut middle portion of the [0027] cables 1 a, 1 b, when cut, as shown in FIG. 5. To be specific, the connecting portions of the cables 1 a, 1 b are laid throughout the first fixing unit 60 and the second fixing unit 70 as well as the connecting unit 50 to face with each other without peeling the sheaths 3 a, 3 b of the cables 1 a, 1 b. The electric jack is fixed at both connecting portions of the cables 1 a, 1 b by bending the first fixing unit 60 and the second fixing unit 70. If the connecting unit 50 at the center is subsequently bent, the convex and concave portions 52 formed on a contact surface 51 of the connecting unit 50 penetrates the sheaths 3 a, 3 b of the cables 1 a, 1 b to reach the lead wires 2 a, 2 b inside of the cables 1 a, 1 b. Then, the lead wires 2 a, 2 b are electrically connected to the electric jack, and the cut cables 1 a, 1 b are electrically connected again. By doing so, work performance is enhanced because the sheaths 3 a, 3 b of the cables 1 a, 1 b are not peeled.
  • As described above, the electric jack according to the present invention serves to enhance the work performance owing to no peeling of the sheath of the cable in electrically connecting the cable to a connecting object. The electric jack according to the present invention is also convenient in use because the cut cables can be electrically connected by facing the cables with each other without peeling the sheath. [0028]
  • While the invention has been shown and described with reference to a certain preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
